Hello! Is it possible to refresh the dataset of a scattergeo (or really any plot) through user input after the page has already been loaded?

Hi @GorillaCoder, you can refresh a plotly figure inside a Dash application, see for example [https://dash.plot.ly/interactive-graphing](https://dash.plot.ly/interactive-graphing) and more generally the Dash documentation [https://dash.plot.ly/](https://dash.plot.ly/)

Hi @Emmanuelle, thanks for the reply! This solution appears to refresh data already loaded within the application but not if I want Python to modify the dataset and then Plotly to re-graph those changes.

Essentially, I’d like to do all the refinement of the dataset in a Python application back-end and then use Plotly to re-graph the changes (specifically the Scattergeo). Sorry if the title was misleading.  
Is there any way to do this?

Something like this: [Refresh Data in Plotly without the use of Jupyter Notebooks](https://community.plotly.com/t/refresh-data-in-plotly-without-the-use-of-jupyter-notebooks/33359)
